monotonic
意味: Consistently increasing or decreasing without any reversals in direction. Also used to describe speech or sound delivered in an unchanging, flat tone.
In mathematics and economics, monotonic describes a function or trend that moves in only one direction — either always rising or always falling. A monotonically increasing tax rate, for instance, never dips. Outside technical usage, monotonic (or monotone) refers to speech that lacks variation in pitch, carrying connotations of tedium or emotional flatness. The mathematical and colloquial senses are distinct but related by the idea of unvarying progression.
